> Anyway, the point of the post is the question I was thinking about....I was thinking about how people always say curiousity killed the cat. My question is that if cats have nine lives, did curiousity just wipe out one, or did it take out the whole nine, and truely *kill* the cat?

The complete saying is:

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.

So it seems that curiosity only used up one of the nine lives.
